E-health

The growing expectations about rapid online developments in all areas of the health sector have thrown up some difficult, but fascinating challenges.

This track seeks to move beyond the many grand visions about the infinite possibilities within the health sphere and so often hyped up at conferences and in the media. Instead, we wish to examine some of the online initiatives that have actually come to fruition and the relevance and impact of these projects on the real stakeholders.
